Recurrence occurred in local lymph nodes in 61.1% of cases. Ultrasound could detect lesions in 90.7% of patients. FNA gave a malignant result in 89.2% of cases. 80.6% of patients had elevated thyroglobulin, the positive whole-body scan results in 56.1%. PET/CT was performed in 33.3% of patients with 100% recurrence detected. Conclusion: Almost thyroid carcinoma is local recurrence, slight symtoms.
